The Mongoliad: Book Three Audiobook (Free)

The shadow of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II hangs within the shattered Holy Roman Church as the cardinals stay deadlocked, struggling to choose a new pope. Only the Binders and a mad priest possess a hope of uniting the Cathedral against the invading Mongol host. An untested music group of young warriors stands against the dissolute Khan, Onghwe, fighting for glory and independence in the Khan’s sadistic circus of swords, and the brave band of Shield-Brethren who set out to stop the Mongol threat single-handedly race against their nemesis before he can boost the complete empire against them. Veteran knight Feronantus, haunted by his lifestyle in exile, qualified prospects the dwindling company of Shield-Brethren with their final battle, molding them into a team which will outlast him. No great hero lives permanently. Or fights only. With this third and final book from the Mongoliad trilogy from Neal Stephenson and business, the gripping personal tales of medieval freedom fighters collide to create an epic, imaginative recounting of a moment in history when a world in peril relied exclusively in the courage of its people.
